especially when kd2 and i can cook. but with or without him or cooking, this is a very nice thing.

i meant to challenge myself to this for 30 days, but i clicked a button too soon in the challenge area, and apparently there is no way to revise that. so, i’m going no coffee until dec. 8, not nov. 16.

this means i finished week one. this challenge isn’t about caffeine, it’s about not being dependent on unnecessary things. it was very easy the first few days. i didn’t miss coffee at all. now, however, a week into it, i do really miss it. it’s not the caffeine, it’s the flavor. i do love tea, especially green and oolong, but they don’t have the same satisfying meatiness in your belly that coffee has. le sigh. well, i guess that’s why it’s a 30 day challenge. hopefully by the end of it, i won’t be thinking about it anymore.

and then: mission accomplished! i can go back to drinking coffee again!

i told a friend of mine about this “no coffee for a month” thing, and she didn’t understand the desire to just clean out habits. she understood the idea of quiting caffeine, but that is not my goal. somehow, the idea of checking your relationship to things in your life just didn’t register for this person. i wonder, then, if doing this is abnormal, or indicative of some kind of ocd? or not.
